Who was the idiot who came up with adding perfume to tampons, pads and panty liners?

One day, some complete moron thought it would be a good idea, and for some odd reason, that moron is now likely a millionaire.

I bet it went something like this;Women don't want people to know they are on their period, and fear that they smell bad when that's going on, so let's add a froofy smell to the stuff they use to prevent messes.

Makes sense on that small level, except for the fact that now, for one week out of the month the women who use these things smell like they stuffed a dryer sheet in their pants.

Yeah, that'll make sure nobody has a clue what's going on!

And what imbecile rubs a toxic perfume-drenched piece of cotton against a mucus membrane for several days in a row anyway? Are these people not aware that mucus membranes are the quick-absorption channels into the bloodstream, or do they just not care?

It's no wonder the yeast infection medicine business is booming.* Rant brought to you by a mistaken purchase by the Keebler, who says "I know cookies, not Kotex.".
